Tesla invented the radio?
No, it should be said that Tesla invented the radio broadcasting system including radios and broadcasting equipment.

When receiving reports from the company and the military, Emperor Zhu's face was filled with a smile.

"So he picked up our radio signal?"

This is somewhat surprising.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we tested it with his radio, and the radio signal can indeed be heard."

Sun Hu's expression was a little helpless. The secret that had been kept secret for so many years was exposed like this, which really made people feel very unwilling.

radio station!

It has always been the trump card of the imperial military.

Although it is not a weapon that can directly kill people, its role in the war even exceeds ten divisions and more than ten battleships.

"So what does the military mean?"

Emperor Zhu asked with a smile.

"Should Tesla be kept secret and temporarily block his invention, or?"

"Your Majesty, the military values ​​secrecy, but we have no intention and will never use military secrets to interfere with civilian inventions."

In the empire, the status of the military is detached, but Sun Hu knows where the border of the military is.If unscrupulously interfering with civilian inventions on the grounds of secrets and other reasons, then those waiting for the military will definitely be severely punished.

"So, the military does not make any comments on this matter. Tesla's invention is his invention, and military secrets are military secrets. There is no necessary connection between the two."

In fact, there is another reason, Sun Hu did not say clearly, according to the intelligence analysis of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the naval departments of Europe and the United States and other countries invested in the research of radio stations as early as a few years ago, and they have made some progress. It is expected that in the next three to five years , will be successful.

Under such circumstances, showing the enlightened side of the military is only good, and there will be no harm. After all, after staying with His Majesty for so long, he knows His Majesty's temper very well, and he values ​​scientific innovation very much. Scientific innovation has always been hated.

And from the standpoint of the military, the military also supports scientific innovation, and technology is the combat effectiveness!
How could the military, which has tried the scientific dividend, not know about it?
Moreover, the radio broadcast also allowed the military to see another possibility, a radio communicator similar to a wireless telephone, with which it is more conducive to military operations.

"Um,"

Nodding his head, Emperor Zhu said.

"It's good for the military to think this way. Radio broadcasting... In my opinion, its importance may even far exceed that of radio stations,"

what?
Now Sun Hu didn't quite understand.

"Is radio that important?"

"Sun Qing, you said that if every household has a radio, or if one day, the vast majority of people in the country can listen to a news through the radio or outdoor broadcasting, what does that mean?"

Looking at Sun Hu who seemed a little dazed, Emperor Zhu continued.

"Radio broadcasting will usher in a new era. Through the radio, people will not only hear news and current events, but also enjoy programs such as music and comedy. Of course, our voice will also be broadcast all over the world. Broadcasting propaganda directly to Get into people's ears, spread into their minds, affect them, sway them."

How influential is radio broadcasting?

It is no exaggeration to say that its role in World War II even surpassed thousands of troops!

Radio is a mass media that emerged after newspapers. Compared with newspapers, it has strong timeliness, convenient listening, instant access to thousands of rivers and mountains, can overcome language barriers and spread across national borders, has strong appeal, and has no language barriers. Wide audience, etc. Advantage, it is this communication advantage that made broadcasting play an extremely important role in World War II.

Not to mention World War II, even during the economic crisis, such as Roosevelt's "fireside speech", did not awaken the confidence of the Americans.

If there is no radio and only rely on newspapers, its audience is very limited, but radio broadcasts allow people to hear speeches directly, and speeches mobilize people's hearts.

"Of course correspondingly, radio will also become a sharp weapon in the hands of other countries. They can use radio to awaken people's patriotism and call for resistance during wars, but in any case, radio is an extremely important propaganda tool."

What are promotional tools used for?

Of course, it is used to unite people. With the radio broadcast, the empire can use it to unite people. Come, of course, it can also be used to confuse people. It is not only a tool, but also a weapon.

In the next half an hour or so, Emperor Zhu and Sun Hu chatted a lot, including various "imaginations" about radio broadcasting, and of course ideas about wireless walkie-talkies. Compared with broadcasting, Sun Hu is naturally more interested in wireless walkie-talkies, after all, this is the direction of military research.

At the end of the chat, they talked about the "tank leak incident", when they learned that the source of the leak had not been found out.Emperor Zhu nodded and said.

"The secrecy of weapons has always been a big problem. Unless we don't train and equip them, we can't guarantee that weapons won't leak out. After all, with so many weapons and so many troops equipped, even if we are as big as the Patagonian plateau The place is used for training, and it is impossible to keep it secret for a lifetime, and there is no way for some leaks to happen occasionally."

"really,"

Sun Hu said regretfully.

"The only pity is that according to the military's plan, tanks could be used to deal a sudden blow to the enemy, but now it seems that it is impossible."

"Has little effect!"

Emperor Zhu directly waved his hand and said.

"Weapons are important, but tactics are more important. A tank is just a weapon. If you want to exert its power, the key is to rely on tactics!"

It depends on tactics!

Suddenly Emperor Zhu seemed to find himself in some kind of misunderstanding. He thought that as long as the tanks were kept secret, foreigners would not get the tanks, and he could use the tanks to cause a sudden blow to the enemy.

But actually?
In another world, tanks were put into battle during World War I, but so what?For the military of all countries in the world, the tank is just a new toy, and not many people realize its power at all.

When San Dezi used blitzkrieg to strike Poland, France and Da Mao, San Dezi's tanks were neither the most nor the best, but what happened?
Coupled with advanced tactics, San Dezi's tank troops swept across almost the entire Europe like a destructive force.

Weapons may be important, but the most important thing is tactics, or people!
